Re: [Mk2] [NA] Quad light mod problem - help

That I would think is the problem, diodes only allow electrical flow in 1 direction and prevent the circuit from being made elsewhere and bypassing the fog light. What you need to do is to install a diode with the flow facing the light fitting on the Fog Live (green with orange stripe wire) and ano...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Quad light mod problem - help

There were no diodes that's for sure, just spade connectors in the wiring on the passenger side inner fog. Also with fog switch on i don't have fog lights, so guess i need to see whats on the end of the switch :-k

I'll get some picks up tomorrow & update.
